To solve this problem, we can use the concept of similar triangles.
Let's denote the distance between Campsite F and Lake as x. Then, the distance between Campsite G and Lake is also x, since the two triangles are proportional.
We can set up a proportion to find the distance between Campsite F and Campsite G:
(82.8 m - x) / 82.8 m = 49 m / 92 m
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
92 m * (82.8 m - x) = 49 m * 82.8 m
Now, we can simplify the equation:
7521.6 m^2 - 92 m * x = 4049.2 m^2
Next, we can isolate the variable x by moving all the terms involving x to one side of the equation:
92 m * x = 7521.6 m^2 - 4049.2 m^2
92 m * x = 3472.4 m^2
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 92 m to solve for x:
x = (3472.4 m^2) / 92 m
x ≈ 37.83 m
Therefore, the distance between Campsite F and Campsite G is approximately 37.83 meters.
